[Feature Request] Improve translations #2311

twisterniq · 2019-04-26T13:38:32Z

Hi. Can you improve the translations in the game? In Russian a lot of information is in English, it should be translated. I suppose the community should be the one to help improve the translations. So is there any way to help with this?

Examples:

These are only two examples from Settings. There is more that should be translated in the game such a message when you try to drop the knife.

metita · 2019-04-26T15:21:30Z

This is happening on Spanish version as well.

Some texts are truncated as well:

JoelTroch · 2019-04-26T19:41:12Z

French also has missing localization but only for the stuff that were added post-SteamPipe update back in 2013 (raw mouse input, low video quality...)

@kisak-valve You can remove the Counter-Strike label because this issue seems to be common to all games, I tested with both Counter-Strike and Half-Life 1.

@eat1k You can remove the [CS] tag in the title as well.

mikela-valve · 2019-04-26T21:16:02Z

If people would like to provide translations for the languages missing I’d be happy to integrate them into a release. When I have time I’ll diff the English and other localization files and get a list of what is missing.

metita · 2019-04-26T21:16:59Z

I will be providing translation to the Spanish localization files.

metita · 2019-04-27T02:54:45Z

@mikela-valve UI changes needs to be made in order to fix certain localization strings because they are getting cut when displayed on client. (Spanish translation are way more larger than English one)

I will be waiting on commits to start doing pull request on localization files.

JoelTroch · 2019-04-27T10:41:06Z

I can take care of french.

Can work on missing Russian localizations.

MaestroFenix · 2019-04-29T13:33:02Z

@mikela-valve Can this thread be extended not only to Half-Life, but also for HL: Opposing Force and HL: Blueshift? For example, the retail versions had full Spanish texts and dubs, yet they don't appear in Steam ( I think Spanish was added to OF after Steampipe, but it is half broken ).

XakepSDK · 2019-05-18T21:41:54Z

I can help with russian

yek-ta · 2019-05-23T09:51:08Z

I can help for translating to Turkish too.

@mikela-valve

For some of these that you suggested:
Cstrike_Reset_View -> Восстановить вид (another option that I suggest)
Cstrike_Nightvision -> Вкл/выкл. ночное видение (just added a . after выкл)
Cstrike_Drop_Weapon -> I think the first option is good, i.e, Выбросить текущее оружие
Cstrike_Select_Team -> I think the second option is good, i.e, Выбрать команду
Cstrike_RadarType -> the last option is good.
Cstrike_Solid -> maybe just an antonym of transparent? If you suggested in Cstrike_Transparent Прозрачный I think in Cstrike_Solid we can write Непрозрачный (literally "not transparent")

mikela-valve · 2019-06-04T10:25:25Z

Oh, weird. Are those strings set for you @eat1k and @afwn90cj93201nixr2e1re in cstrike_english.txt and not cstrike_russian.txt? Not that that's unlikely, just unexpected.

Looking at the Russian translation, it looks like most of those have translations. Are they present in your files? If not they may not be shipped for some reason, this is what I have for some of them:
Cstrike_Reset_View -> Восстановить вид
Cstrike_Buy_Menu -> Меню Купить
Cstrike_Fire -> Огонь
Cstrike_Nightvision -> Включить/выключить прибор ночного видения
Cstrike_Drop_Weapon -> Бросить текущее оружие
Cstrike_Select_Team -> Выбрать команду

I don't have cstrike_russian folder in Half-Life, but yes valve_russian. I don't know why.

mikela-valve · 2019-06-04T10:41:36Z

Weird, I'd expect those to be set in <steamapps>/common/Half-Life/cstrike/resource/cstrike_russian.txt. Are they indeed elsewhere for you?

twisterniq · 2019-06-04T10:53:04Z

Weird, I'd expect those to be set in /common/Half-Life/cstrike/resource/cstrike_russian.txt. Are they indeed elsewhere for you?

All files I have related to "russian":
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\valve_russian\resource\gameui_russian.txt
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\valve_russian\resource\valve_russian.txt

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\platform\resource\vgui_russian.txt

SamVanheer · 2019-06-04T11:31:57Z

@mikela-valve That's normal, the engine loads both resource/valve_language.txt and resource/game_language.txt when the game is not valve in CBaseUI::Start.

The CS depot uses the valve_ version: https://steamdb.info/depot/141/
The Russian depot for CS specifically has no files: https://steamdb.info/depot/142/

But depots for other languages do, for example: https://steamdb.info/depot/19/

It looks like it's an inconsistency in the filenames for different translations. Not sure if it needs fixing.

afwn90cj93201nixr2e1re · 2019-06-04T12:59:57Z

Cstrike_Reset_View -> Восстановить вид (another option that I suggest)

Это force_centerview, сбрасывает viewangles на начальные позиции. Слово вид вряд-ли здесь подойдет.

@mikela-valve there no translation's files in cstrike/res dir, and this is strange.

Cstrike_Reset_View -> Восстановить вид

вид in english like view,
but in russian like view from some point,
but force_centreview set viewangles to null, maybe we should change вид -> взгляд, взгляд in russian like view angles.

XakepSDK · 2019-06-04T13:08:03Z

@mikela-valve
Cstrike_Buy_Menu -> Меню Купить
this is wrong, Меню закупки is correct.

mikela-valve · 2019-06-04T18:05:23Z

@SamVanheer Ok, that explains everything. I hadn't checked the depot so I didn't know that there weren't any CS localization files shipped for Russian.

It looks like possibly the Russian translation for CS wasn't fully completed so it was never shipped. I have a string localization file for it which is what I drew those translations from but that is all.

This is what I have, if anyone would like to go through it to make corrections or updates. It's missing the new tokens that I added for the scoreboard that I've listed below but other looks to be complete.

"Cstrike_DEFUSE_KIT"		"D. Kit"
"Cstrike_HEALTH"		"HP"
"Cstrike_ACCOUNT"		"Money"

XakepSDK · 2019-06-05T07:00:18Z

@eat1k maybe just Сапёр?

afwn90cj93201nixr2e1re · 2019-06-05T08:57:36Z

Ah, yes that would make sense then to make other translations fit into the sizes specced for the English strings.

u'r finally get it.

@mikela-valve seem's like you should create few issues for every lang.
Coz there some stupid ideas for translate.

Maybe just щипцы? But in tab better stay D. Kit coz everyone know's what is it.

Слово спецназ очень сложно найти в какой-нибудь сборке нормальной, это всегда было Контр-террорист.

Вообще, по хорошему, берите CS:GO и смотрите перевод там. Ну и лучше создать отдельный issue для нашего языка, так как он сложноват в отличии от остальных.

Google Translate:
The word special forces is very difficult to find in any assembly normal, it has always been a counter-terrorist.

In general, for good, take CS: GO and watch the translation there. Well, it is better to create a separate issue for our language, since it is complicated, unlike the others.

afwn90cj93201nixr2e1re · 2019-06-05T09:11:59Z

@mikela-valve ur translation file is so dumb, xD, don't use google translate, xD.

afwn90cj93201nixr2e1re · 2019-06-05T09:15:41Z

Key's translated too, xD.

i make some translation improvment's, but still need work on it.

mikela-valve · 2019-06-05T18:36:58Z

Awesome, thanks @afwn90cj93201nixr2e1re! I'm not sure if all of the languages necessarily need their own issue threads since some of them have significantly less than others, but definitely languages where we don't currently even ship localizations for certain games like CS Russian you can definitely feel free to create a new issue to track work on it.

mikela-valve · 2019-06-05T18:37:28Z

Thanks @GiovaniFerraroTrivelli! I'll update the Spanish localization with those.

metita · 2019-06-05T18:46:13Z

There are several spanish strings that need some improvements, we are just waiting for this #2311 (comment)

Maxi605 · 2019-06-05T19:50:12Z

@mikela-valve is there a reason why this strings aren't the same when they are said on say_team?

// Map Specific

	MAP cs_siege "1" "mapa cs_siege"
	{
		"1" "'Id por los subterráneos'" "say_team Id por los subterraneos!"
		"2" "'Enemigo en aparcamientos'" "say_team Enemigo en aparcamientos!"
		"3" "'¡A la sala de rehenes!'"   "say_team A la sala de rehenes!"
		"4" "'¡Francotiradores!'"  "say_team Francotiradores!"
		"5" "'Tomad la ruta superior'"  "say_team Tomad la ruta superior!"
	}

they aren't using the accent on them, the file may not be using utf-8?

It's also not showing the accent or symbols on the commandmenu

Maxi605 · 2019-06-05T20:04:33Z

Also motd.txt is outdated, contains a text that says you're playing CS 1.5, it isn't used but still, the message that is using doesn't says that the version of the game is 1.6 (As the english version does)

mikela-valve · 2019-06-05T21:42:52Z

@basuritashka It looks like all of the strings in CS are accounted for, minus the ones I recently added.
I created a gist of all of the strings I could find that were not localized in the Spanish files.

Of course you can feel free to suggest improvements to any of the translations already existing as well. Also, the gist only includes strings that were absent from the Spanish localization, it doesn't include any that are present but have English text for their Spanish translation.

metita · 2019-06-05T21:48:13Z

Thanks, I would like to ask if STS Steam Translation Server keep working on games like DOD/CS 1.6/HL/GoldSRC or they are just working on new content from actual games.

mikela-valve · 2019-06-05T22:08:42Z

Not that I know of so I would assume not, at least I haven't seen any updates to any of the localizations for the past several years.

It means half of the book and not half of several books. So it's correct as it is.
